"Hi! My name is Katie. I hold a master's in education from USC, where I graduated with highest honors specializing in special and exceptional education. I have a JD from UCLA and a BA in English from USC, magna cum laude. I am a member of the California State Bar. For high school, I went to prep school in New England.

I am also an avid reader and writer, and I can help any student become a better writer for any subject. My lesson plans are informative and exciting, and I tailor them to individual student's needs.
